In recognition of the rising importance of vaccine diplomacy in the current climate, the San Diego Diplomacy Council is proud to offer a unique discussion with Dr. Yanzhong Huang, a senior fellow for global health at the Council on Foreign Relations and professor and the director for global health studies at Seton Hall University’s School of Diplomacy and International Relations. This event will take place on Zoom at 11 AM PST on May 18th as part of our E-Talk About series.

Vaccine diplomacy is among the most important foreign policy tools for countries seeking to shape their post-COVID international standings. Major powers including the People’s Republic of China, India, Russia, and the United States have emerged as contenders in this quest. How do these countries differ in their motivations, patterns, and successes in vaccine diplomacy? Will their efforts encourage equitable global vaccine access or merely result in geopolitical frictions?

What happens to our understanding of the world if we go beyond comparative analysis, and instead examine the connections among nations? This is what transnational (or global) history does. in such a light, key developments in Japan—nation building, war, authoritarianism, democracy—become more comprehensible, as we analyze not only domestic factors, but also the impact of global ideas and practices that were circulating at the time. Sheldon Garon will introduce this approach, drawing on his global histories of savings-promotion, social policies, and “home fronts” in the world wars.

Speakers:
• Sheldon Garon, Nissan Professor of History and East Asian Studies, Princeton University
• Ulrike Schaede, Professor and Director of the Japan Forum for Innovation and Technology, GPS UC San Diego

Rufino Tamayo (1899-1991) resisted the pressure of fellow artists Diego Rivera and David Alfaro Siqueiros to follow the politically based nationalistic themes that dominated México’s art after the revolution. Over the course of his lengthy and productive career, Tamayo came to be regarded not only as one of México’s greatest painters, but as one of modern art’s major international masters. Tamayo remained fiercely committed to painting as a spiritual activity. He also defended his pursuit of what he called the Mexican Tradition, which he felt was rooted in Pre-Hispanic art.
